Alpine: Memory of Corsica

LIMITED SERIES With the new A110 Tour de Corse 75, the French sports car manufacturer presents a special edition inspired by the legendary Alpine A110 of 1975 in the Corsica Rally.

Alpine A110
The special model can be reserved at Alpine partners at a price of 84,000 Swiss francs.

The hallmark of the series, which was produced in 150 units, is the yellow body paint, which contrasts with the black front hood and roof.

Technical features include the 300-hp engine from the A110 GT and A110 S and a rally chassis for maximum agility.

Orange Brembo brake calipers
The paintwork, which is based on the historical prototype, is complemented by striking black and white Tour de Corse 75 graphics. Added to this are a white border around the front hood and the number 7 at the rear as a reference to the rally car of the time. 18-inch wheels painted in gloss white and the orange Brembo brake calipers complete the sporty appearance.

Fight A110 against Lancia Stratos HF
Created in 1956, the Tour de Corse is one of the most important events in rallying. In 1967, the race event, also known as the Rally of 10,000 Bends, was included in the French Rally Championship, and in 1973 it advanced to become the most important French round of the World Rally Championship.

Two years later, 77 teams started on the Corsican asphalt, but only 22 finished: an indication of the rally's level of difficulty. The Alpine A110 and the Lancia Stratos HF engaged in a fierce battle for victory, which was only decided on the last special stage, when the Alpine came within 32 seconds of the top step of the podium.
